8. Why did we want to change
▸Our previous database was outdated
▸Couldn’t easily access our data
▸Clunky and time consuming
▸Lots of manual processes, people avoided using the
DB if possible
▸Expensive to maintain and update
▸Didn’t integrate with any other system
▸We were getting no where with the database
company who couldn’t see why we weren’t happy
13. Step one: Requirements capture and choosing a solution
▸Sat down with each member of the team to go
through all the requirements
▸Compiled this into a tender document
▸Planned a tender timetable and sent tender out to
approx. 20 agencies
▸Developed a marking criteria to see how responses
matched to our requirements
▸Invited 4 to present their system
14. Step two: Mapping processes
Reviewed all of our processes and where we want to be in 5 years
15. Step three: Managing the project
▸Requires a project owner within the charity
▸Useful to have a second project support for holidays
etc.
▸Weekly calls with Shonet and our web agency to
track progress against timeline
▸Issues tracking list which was reviewed each week
▸Cancelled other SRI projects to free up time to
manage project
16. Step five: Testing
▸We used our original requirements to help
test the system
▸Created test scenarios to run through the
system i.e. two marathon runners want to
fundraiser together using virgin Money
giving etc.
▸Shonet do an Agile process for testing
(iterative process)
17. Step six: Training
▸Shonet provided training days
▸We created a Salesforce handbook
▸Internal training sessions to ensure
everyone was working consistently
20. Benefits
▸We can now access our data efficiently
▸Data is clean
▹ We can run profiles on our supporter base
▸Processes are mapped out and are more efficient
▸Team works better together, more collaborative
▸Opportunity to steward supporters
▸Integrated with other systems (Outlook, Mailchimp,
Eventbrite)
21. ▸All our data is in one place – not in excel
documents
▸Much more motivated team as they don’t
face so many barrier
▸Online fundraising has increased
▹2014-15 £33,302 online donations
▹2015-16 £54,556 online donations (39% increase)
22. Lessons learnt
▸Project owner needs to be very motivated
and have a vision of what they want
▸Ensure you are clear about your
requirements
▸Involve the team in the process – it utilises
their knowledge and buys them into the
solution
▸Create capacity within the team – you
23. ▸Don’t get tied into one agency
▸Ensure you look at your business processes and map
the solution around these (not the other way around)
▸Estimate the amount of time required for testing * 4
▸Plan for internal training – some team members will
be resistant to change
▸Always plan a phase two – almost impossible to
know everything you want ahead of using the system
